    All I heard is USA claiming to bomb TSMC if Taiwan ever wanted to go back and unify with mainland China. You may go check it, it is a real threat.

      Not sure if I would call it a threat.

      Congressman Seth Moulton prposed to do this in May '23. Taiwan obviously wasn’t happy about that proposal.

      Then there’s also a statement by former National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien from March '23 where he said that “I can’t imagine they’d be intact” after an invasion of China.

      The 2nd one is a bit nebulous but doesn’t talk about reunification but about annexation.

        I remember Cuban missile crisis being a threat without any spoken words. Yeah, this would be a straight up declaration for war.
